AP 184: You Can Be More Than One Thing || with Vanessa Quigley

Have you ever asked yourself, what even is self development and where do I start with all that it entails?! It is much simpler than you think and totally achievable with baby steps. This month as we dream big listen to this interview that reminds you that you can be more than one thing. More than likely, you already are. You can be more than one thing. Vanessa Quigley is a mother of 7, founder of Chatbooks, opera singer (you gotta tune in to make sense of that one!), and now podcaster. She boldly lists off all of the 'ands' that make up her personality, in hopes to encourage you to embrace your own multifaceted personality. As you start to uncover all that you are, remember you don't need to do all the things all at once. This interview also discusses seasons, meaning that life ebbs and flows and that is okay. So, forget chasing balance and instead allow yourself to be present. Explore your interests and speak your ideas. Vanessa shares how doing that, even in the thick of motherhood, has led to groundbreaking entrepreneurship. Don't be overwhelmed! Own your passions and dig in. Ask for support, instead of permission. Need a community? Tune in and know that you are welcome here. About a few other things I no longer have planner guilt!
